Flesh, TX

Sometimes just the title of a movie alone should clue you in to how bad it is going to be. In this case, it allured me in to see just how bad it would be. Yes, I am a glutton for bad movie punishment. Yes, occasionally B-budget flicks will amuse, gore out, might have a shining star in the making but guess what, this movie has none of these things. Simple plot, stop in the wrong town and run across a lunatic family that kills and eats people. OK, lots of room to make this good, right? Well, it isn't. The acting in this movie is possibly some of the worst around, almost like they were trying to act poorly. If this were true, then this group deserves the award. Mix that into a stupid story with potential to be silly, or gross and you come up with nothing? That isn't the only drawback though. I am unsure if the film makers allowed their 3 year old children to do the sound and video editing, but it is almost laughable at how bad it was. Clear echoes from multiple mics being used in scenes, cuts to the completely wrong sound effect for what was occurring. At times, it sounded like a different person was speaking then the character (in a dubbed movie type way). I really can't stress enough how poor this was and up until the end when a funny line was said that made me laugh (the highlight of the movie, btw) was "A female dog" Not a spoiler at all, just the phrase earned this movie out of 1 stardom. Yes, I am a positive person and find the good as best as I can. Don't be so kind and abuse your senses with this one, at all.

Usually even the worst kind of films have SOME sort of redeeming feature, but this is just painful from go to woe.

Special mention must go to the appalling acting which is mostly caricature and NOT in a humorous or clever way. It's just pathetic and completely embarrassing.

The terrible direction which has no idea about pace and timing.

The awful sound which is consistently flawed and technically amateur.

And then there's the abysmal script which should never have been written in the first place.

Honestly, I've seen some crap in my time, but this takes the damn cake.

Joe Estevez does it again! Five bags of popcorn 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 for his performance.

gawwd i cant believe i have wasted my precious time watching this one ...the only pain is i really don't think it deserves 10 lines of review coz its so crappy n awful ....just don't waste your time on this one coz even if u watch it fast forwarding you will puke ...yes its that awful the acting the less i write the better it is coz there is nothing to write ....we were better than this as kids when we use to try n act i m sure it was better than what they have done ....

i m sure a law should be there to punish these people for making this crap and tormenting us like that grrrr ...

all i can say is AAARGH!!!!puke !!! don't waste your time on this please ...a humble request 2 all of u out there

Money for 2 more weeks of edit/review time and post-production could have turned this into a horror classic. Great story line, even if a bit of a stretch, along with some very realistic nuances along the way bring it to life.

As it is, it's basically the 2000s version of a B-movie. The audio is horrible and there are some scenes that are begging to be cut as the actors are basically left to ad-lib. A little time to step away and watch this again would have made this obvious while better post-production (or maybe just any) would have edited it out.

What isn't hurt by the budget is the acting. They clearly found lots of unknown talent on the cheap. Too bad they couldn't find a wardrobe and sound person equally cheap.

Hopefully, this film gets picked up by a bigger studio that gives it the attention it deserves. The writer and director definitely deserve another film with actual, skilled post-production people as much as this film deserves the same and an attempt to redistribute to theaters.
